Chapter 396: The Governor of Liangguang Meets Galileo

Galileo did not expect that as soon as he set foot on this strange land, he would be captured by these people who looked richly dressed but were also barbaric and domineering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This made Galileo, who was very excited and curious at first, suddenly a little unhappy, he glared at Montjersey angrily, and was helplessly forced into the carriage by the brocade guards.

Montjersey was also very helpless, and he didn't know what the purpose of Shang Zhouzuo, the governor of Liangguang, suddenly met him and thought that he wanted a person named Galileo who lived in Florence, he only wanted to fulfill Shang Zhouzuo's request, and sought a little preferential tariff collection for this.

He didn't want to ask whether Galileo was going to be captured by these people as a coolie or that the merchant had a grudge against Galileo and wanted to kill or behead Galileo, etc., he wanted to make more benefits for himself through such a simple transaction.

Therefore, after seeing this brocade guard arresting Galileo, he didn't ask anything, but went directly to the yamen of the Liangguang Governor's Mansion and handed over a post requesting to meet Shang Zhou Zuo, the governor of Liangguang.

Today's Shang Zhou Zuo is the one who controls their power of life and death for them foreign merchants, and he is also their god of wealth, so he has to be careful about this governor of the Ming Empire.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty at that time was powerful, and he had not experienced the fate of being colonized by the West, so Shang Zhouzuo, a scholarly official who had always valued China and despised foreign merchants, was not very gentle towards foreign merchants like Mont Jersey, and even had a somewhat arrogant attitude, and once these foreign merchants violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it was unceremonious to deal with them.

However, since Shang Zhouzuo was an official of the imperial court, Zhu Youxiao's instructions to him were to make the maritime trade between Liangguang, especially in Guangzhou, prosperous, and to pay a large amount of taxes to the imperial court every year, so for these foreign merchants, as long as these people do business honestly, he can still be respectful and noble, at least show his image of being closer to the people.

Therefore, when Monte Jersey's post was sent to the yamen of the Liangguang Governor's Palace, Shang Zhouzuo still chose to meet him, and it was the wish of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao to come to Daming through small commercial tax concessions, and he naturally would not disobey it, so he had no intention of eating Monte Jersey's words.

Monte Jersey walked into the yamen of the Liangguang Governor's Palace, patted his collar, combed the curly hair on his head, and hurriedly walked in, but as soon as he entered, he saw Galileo and Liangguang Governor Shang Zhou Zuo drinking tea in the hall.

This made Montjersey can't help but be dumbfounded, in the few dealings he had with Shang Zhouzuo, the governor of Liangguang, he had never sat opposite the governor of the Ming Empire, and now this Galileo, who was just an idler next to the Grand Duke of Toscon, could be treated like this by the governor of the Ming Empire?

Monte Jersey didn't understand how he would have thought that Galileo would be put on the oil pot of the volcano.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Monte Jersey still forced himself to calm down and bowed to Shang Zhouzuo, the governor of Liangguang, who had to be respectful to the authority of whether he would make five million eagles or lose five million eagles this year.

Shang Zhouzuo saw that Montjersey saluted, and only nodded, and then did not turn his head, still bowed his head and blew hot tea to Galileo: "This official is not interested in miscellaneous studies at all, but today's saint is a well-informed person, and he is particularly concerned about the arithmetic of Western objects, and he is really not secret, I invite you to come to this official mansion today, it is also the meaning of His Majesty today, if it is according to the previous rules, the person who can sit in this position is at least an important member of the fourth rank or above or an old friend of the same year of this official." ”

With the help of the translator next to him and his own good comprehension, Galileo also roughly understood the meaning of this person, and he realized that this person who was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, a black gauze hat on his head, and a brocade rooster embroidered on his chest was actually a symbol of this imperial official.

And the reason why he let himself be here is the meaning of the emperor of this empire, and Galileo began to wonder what the emperor of this empire was, and why he was as curious as himself about these learnings that were not loved by the worldly powers.

"Your Excellency, can you let me meet your Emperor Your Majesty," Galileo also bowed to Zhou Zuo, a courtier.

Somehow, Shang Zhouzuo, who had never looked down on this kind of foreigner, felt that the old man in front of him seemed to have an unusual bearing, at least not as merguisive and sleek as the Italian named Monte Jersey next to him.

"Maybe this is their Europa scholar, and it looks a little bookish", Shang Zhouzuo said that after finishing speaking, he called Jinyi Wei Qianhu Duanmu Chengfeng to him, and after a few words, he asked him to quickly send this Galileo to the capital to meet His Majesty.

It wasn't until after Galileo left that Shang Zhouzuo began to pay attention to Montesze.

Monte Jersey finally got what he wanted, and Shang Zhouzuo agreed to give him certain preferential treatment in the collection of customs duties for his business, and gave him a list, encouraging him to continue to search for people interested in His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to come to the Ming Dynasty.

Creatures have the property of conditioning, and so do people, once they find that this thing is profitable, they will continue to sit down on it.

Monte Jersey is the same, when he let Galileo come to the Ming Dynasty and found that betraying a few Westerners to the Ming Dynasty to satisfy His Majesty's special habits of the Ming Emperor (in his opinion, the emperor of the Ming Empire needs these people must have special habits) seems to be a good thing, and he decided to continue to work hard in this regard, and the list given to him by the governor of Liangguang, Shang Zhou Zuo, seems to be the key to becoming the richest person in Italy in the future.

Unlike the merchant Monte Jersey, who cared more about the gains and losses, as a scientist who only understood the truth of all things, Galileo didn't care what treatment he would get when he went to the capital of this empire, whether he would become an official, whether he would be killed as a heretic, he just wanted to know as soon as possible who proposed the wave-particle duality of light, and whether the Ming Emperor, the supreme power holder of this kingdom, was really different from the pope and supported science.

Flat avenues and colorful painted boats and elegant and chic young sons made Galileo come to heaven and earth in a trance, when he entered the capital, he was attracted by the prosperity here, he never thought that a country can have so many people, the palace here can be so magnificent, the palace can be so gorgeous.

Seeing those pedestrians politely (and only scholars have the energy to wander on the street), Galileo was even more shocked, and secretly sighed that maybe this is the ideal country, peace and equality between people, and mutual respect, when he saw a young man carrying an old woman on his back, he sighed in his heart that the people here pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young, and pay attention to human ethics.
